Final Proposal
I ended up changing my initial project. I wanted to do a project which relates to my area of study. For my final project In will be looking at the School Absenteeism in the United States.
My first three sketches are just an attempt at me understanding what I can do with the data. I wanted to map the count of absenteeism against the years and the States to see what kind of visualisation I can come up with.

The initial dataset provides a detailed breakdown of chronic absenteeism across US schools, categorized by state, subgroup (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender), and other demographic characteristics. To gain a high-level understanding of this complex data, I created a map. This map visualizes the total chronic absenteeism rates for each state, using a color gradient to represent the magnitude of the problem. By hovering over each state, users can see a breakdown of absenteeism by gender, providing insights into how this issue affects different student populations across the country. This visualization allows for quick identification of states with the highest absenteeism rates and highlights disparities within those states.

As I move towards my final project, my plan is to enhance my final visualisation and create a dashboard with updated data to show the trend of absenteeism across the United States and attempt to plot it agaist the growing impact of Climate Change so see whether it has an impact or not.
